Who we are
The leader of our mission team is Sámuel Kriszt. The team members are all volunteers who do this ministry in addition to their work or studies. Our members range from teenagers to those in their forties. As we refresh others, we are constantly refreshed as well. It's great to see the sparkling eyes, the grateful looks. We enrich ourselves with unforgettable experiences.
If you would like to get involved, feel free to write us, we will be happy to contact you.
(If you are a high school student, you can also volunteer with us as part of community service.)

I have been a puppeteer since 2017. Actually, I started because I watched the adults do it since I was little, and I really liked the puppet plays. It's always a wonderful feeling for me when we go to puppet shows. My favorite thing is to see the smiles on the children's faces, because it gives me a very good feeling that we can bring them joy. The most important thing is that we can share the gospel with them in a form that they can easily understand. Our puppet community is also great, full of cool people where you can make good friends. And not by the way, every puppet show is an adventure that we will remember for years!

My brother and my sisters have been puppeteers for a long time, and I really liked it too.
When I was little, I listened to the puppet plays on CD, and then the Kölyökzsinór puppet group came to my school to do puppet shows.
I didn't know how I could serve, and then I started puppeteering in the summer. I really like it and I like it a lot. While I am puppeteering, I experience what is happening and think about it.
I realized that in the process it helps me too, not just the person I am puppeteering to. And of course, above all, to God!

I started puppeteering in December 2022 and then I had my first tour. I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of new people during rehearsals and tours. The best thing about puppetry is the feeling that I can do good for others, as I can perform for thousands of children who await the performances with excitement and interest.

I like that I can bring joy to other children and serve God at the same time.

This was my first puppet season, I love that we can bring God's presence to the schools and bring smiles to the children's faces.
Kitti
Since 2006, I have been an active member of the puppet group Kölyökzsnór. In the beginning, I only went for the team, it was good to be with the others, to go here and there, to play puppets for children, sometimes even a trip was included at the end of the performance. Then, as I became more and more mature, I realized that this is not only a good recharge for me, but also useful for the children. Because in this way children can hear about Jesus who otherwise would not. We tell them that there is Someone who loves them very much and with whom they can talk at any time if they feel lonely or abandoned.


Anna
I took part in a puppet tour for the first time in the spring of 2022. I had seen puppet plays before and was interested in puppetry because it all seemed exciting and special. When I was finally old enough to participate, I experienced it even more positively than I expected. Every time it is wonderful to see how much God can use us to share the good news and how many children we can reach on such occasions. By the way, the community is also really great, the rehearsals are always in a good mood!

I started puppeteering in September 2023. I like going to the children and performing the puppet show. I was able to meet many new people during puppetry. I'm glad to be able to puppeteer in such a place.

2022 decembere óta bábozok, egyik osztálytársam, nem mellesleg barátom, Jonatán hívott el erre, én pedig adtam neki egy esélyt. Azóta sok áldást kaptam én is azáltal, hogy én is áldás lehettem, és minden egyes turnén örömmel látom a gyermekek arcán azt a mosolyt és azt, hogy az evangélium hogyan tudja megérinteni a kisebb korosztályt is. Máté 19:14: „De Jézus ezt mondta: Engedjétek e kisgyermekeket, és ne akadályozzátok őket, hogy hozzám jöjjenek, mert ilyeneké a mennyek országa.”
Adél
I have been a member of the team since spring 2020. Even as a small child, I regularly visited the performances of the puppet group, which I always looked forward to and enjoyed very much. I enjoy working with younger children, which is why I also joined the puppet mission. I believe that God always blesses these occasions and I often receive positive feedback after the performances. Through the good community and the kind host institutions, my faith also develops every time.


Ádám
I joined the team in 2022, then the puppet tour was difficult for me. In 2023, running with a new spirit, I discovered how wonderful the Lord can do for us through the puppet mission. I fell in love with the team and I'm happy to spend time with them until we get to the next location. The puppet mission gave me a lot of experience.

I started puppeteering when I was in the eighth grade, and before that I attended the performances as a spectator - I grew up on them. I have always admired the puppeteers and had the desire to join one day. This mission has given me many blessings. The tours are around Easter and Christmas, so it's part of getting in the holiday spirit for me. It's still magical to see the children's faces light up when we arrive. It gives me such a good feeling to know that I can contribute to making hundreds of children's holidays even just a little bit nicer. It's worth every effort for me.
Luke 6:38 says: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Through my service, I believe that this word is fully fulfilled in my life.


Dani
I started puppetry about 9 years ago and loved it. Not only because I could hang out from school when we went to puppet shows, but it was an uplifting feeling to see the joy in the children's eyes after a puppet show. It is good to know that I am giving them something of what I have experienced from Jesus in a way that they can understand. It is always a pleasure to see how enthusiastically the children answer the questions, everyone wants to say the answer, the tension is at the ceiling. I had many experiences during the lectures, on the roads leading there, beautiful memories that I will not forget.
Jona
I joined the puppet team in 2021. For me, each puppet tour is a great experience and an adventure. It gives me great joy to be able to build God's kingdom in this way. I believe that God will make the sown seeds sprout, and the children we reach will find the source of eternal happiness: Jesus Christ.


Sámuel
I have been involved in this children's mission since the beginning. I made a lifelong decision when I was a child: I repented of my sins and grasped with faith that the Lord Jesus died for my sins, and I accepted God's grace.
I was 6 years old at the time, and this decision affected my entire life, and I have not regretted it since. Perhaps this also contributed to the fact that the children's mission became a matter of my heart. My goal is to help other children to make a similar fate-shaping decision.
It is a great thing to sow and reap after many, many years or perhaps decades.
I carry out this mission in this faith with joy and gratitude.
Zsuzsi
I started puppeteering in 2019, and since then the Christmas and Easter tour has been an important part of my life. With this service, not only can I give heavenly treasures to the children, but God also builds and teaches me. Plus, I'm surrounded by great people who have become my friends.

I joined the team from the spring of 2024, thanks to my classmate and also my best friend. I grew up in a Christian family, it comes naturally to me to serve, so I was happy about the new opportunity. Moreover, I am particularly happy that we can make puppet shows for the children.
I feel good in the community, because the puppet rehearsals and the tour tend to be in a good mood.
I am grateful to God that I can participate in this mission!

It is a special experience when we can bring joy to young and old. And it's important that they know the true meaning of holidays from a young age.


Bianka
I am happy that I can bring joy to the children. After all, I am 14 years old and thank God that I can do something for them.
I was captivated by puppetry when I saw it for the first time, it's like the puppets come to life and I really like that. 😊
Virág
I'm happy that I can be in the roles, and I like that we go from school to kindergarten and that it's almost like we're on vacation. For me, the main thing is to see happiness on other people's faces. 😊
